Vote/election theft

[candy331]

I keep reading here ones think the repubs will steal the election
which is very disheartening to a new voter like me. Now if that is truly believed and there is over a year to the election what are we going to do about it other than moan and complain?. The power truly does belong to the people even if they don't know it or have been trodden down so long they have just given up. WHY is this not circulated now as a drum beating till election w/o letup so everyone will be alerted/stay alerted and not be caught off guard. If you know a theif is going to break in your house/steal your car do you not prepare in advance? Thieves are usally not stopped by their by conscience but by ACTION of others.

If WE have homeland security then we need to get going with voter/election security before there want be any homes to secure.

Going to the polls is fine but if the election is stolen then what good is going? The candidate that wins the primary must be tough and willing to stand tall with the voters for fair elections and not just campaign for votes and then go silent/ back down when blatant injustices are seen after the election. Maybe that is a pledge voters need to hold them to for their vote.

DOES THE SUPREME COURT NEED TO BE PUT ON NOTICE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT ALLOW ANOTHER ELECTION TO BE DECIDED BY THE COURTS?

1. Some of us have been fighting for months

And we haven't quit, we haven't given up and we refuse to sit down and shut up.

Join in the fight against the electronic voting machines being sold to the states under the HAVA legislation.

2. WE THE PEOPLE need to be put on notice

that we must stand up and fight against election theft, not just sit by like we did in 2000.

3. If you don't vote then they won't even need to steal it.

Going to the polls is fine but if the election is stolen then what good is going?

Vote. Not voting is not an option.

The candidate that wins the primary must be tough and willing to stand tall with the voters for fair elections and not just campaign for votes and then go silent/ back down when blatant injustices are seen after the election.

You make a very, very good point here that I have not seen elsewhere. We need a candidate that is prepared to fight if/when any votes are stolen in '04. A candidate who has his battle plan in place well before the election.
